Just reading the existing works supports the “earned” designation. Since 1990 my church had three Pastors serving full time in the church and taking classes, writing, presenting to earn their doctoral degrees. I am glad to see that work done is being “credited” to Pastors when it rightly reflects the Doctoral designation.
What are the details on your Dr. Of Divinity? Is this earned degree or honorary?
And Honorary from Concordia University, Irvine. What a kind gift!
